Where do our exercisers work out and what do you do?

I signed up with a high priced gym today, just to get away from the crowds of the low price one. 105/month rather than 15, but it'll be worth it.
They have a bodyfat tester called Styku which takes a 3D image of your body and correlates it with a training set of Dexa scans, using machine learning. It's supposed to be pretty accurate. I get a free scan on oct 8, then another free one 45 days later. The club is running some sort of contest to see who can get fit in 45 days. The regular price for the scans is $60.

I’d like to get a rowing machine. Maybe in a year or two. My biggest issue is finding the time and then fighting off the snack/drink demons at 10pm when I finally get a minute to myself!
My neighbor has a rowing machine he said to try before you buy as it’s a great workout but can also make your butt sore if you don’t have the correct posture.
Love swimming, it’s such a great workout and the waterproof headphones makes it fun to listen to music while swimming.

The interesting thing about rowing is that if you have proper technique, only something like 25% of the power comes from your arms.
The most well known indoor machine is the "Concept 2". From what I have heard/read, the fly setting should be at around 4-5 and the stroke every minute should be somewhere around 20-22.
I usually just watch Asian dramas while rowing. LOL The concept 2 had a holder for an Ipad or similar. Makes the time go quickly.

I worked out today, but my body was already unhappy with me for having hoisted wet mulch bags all day yesterday in a very rare day of yardwork. It shows that no matter how much time i put in on the machines, they don't work ALL the muscles. I'll have to look into adding some dumbbell work.

I recently started doing real pull-ups and dips. Previously I only did the assisted kind out of fear that I'd injure my shoulder (torn rotator cuff in 22).
I've been trying to do 3 sets of 5 (up from 3 sets of 3). I can do that with dips, today I hit 5-5-4 on pull-ups. Still need to improve my form though.
